A year ago today I joined Mac-Forums. A half hour after joining, my first MacBook arrived. Over the last year I've come to meet lots of great people at M-F, I earned the honor of being a Member Of The Month, and I've done things I've never done before.

For instance, I'm in the process of making my 3rd book. I've dabbled in podcasts. More importantly, I've come to actually - dare I say it - enjoy my computer. I'm in technolove with my iPhone. I did have some trouble with my first MacBook, a refurb, though I've had trouble with other computers in the past too. I'm still in love with my 2nd MacBook though and it's a great little machine. It's the perfect Mac for me.

I don't do well with people, but here things seem to fit okay. It's a tribute to the folks who visit this great place. It's also a tribute to the folks who run this great place.

So. I raise my coffee mug to all you folks out there and say,

"Thank you all for making this a great year! Cheers to you!!!!" :D

Wow! Congratulations, MO! And thank you (and cwa) for being one that makes this place what it is. :)

I second dtravis7. I'll hit the year marc in 8 days and I plan on acknowledging (that is a HARD word to spell) it in some way.
It's very rare for me to be a loyal member of a forum for a WHOLE year.

One of the Mods did that to me a long time ago as a joke so I put it back to see how many would notice! You are the first! :D

Hey everyone hope all is well and you all had a great weekend! Mine wasn't too bad. Still can't seem to get my website to appear under search engines, even though I have it verified through Google Webmaster Tools and the company that hosts the domain for me. I also have my name as the title of the page and keywords in the Meta tag. Still lost, oh well I'm sure I'll figure it out sometime soon. I mean what's the point of having a website if people don't see it as the number one hit when they google you?

Tomorrow I'm going grocery shopping with my mom. When I get back home I get to think of Q&As for my upcoming phone interview tomorrow. I was nervous a little while ago, but for some reason I'm not too worried about it now. I don't know if that's a bad thing or not.

I'm totally not looking forward to the next week of school. At least it will seem short thanks to having tomorrow off of school.
